A Direct Message To Parents of Adult Children Living at Home

I see sooooo many young adults who are living at home. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT GOES EVERY TIME. YES. EVERY TIME. The adult child is not as motivated for self sufficiency as the parents are. THIS CREATES A HUGE CONFLICT!!!!! The adult child is living at home. The parents want the adult child to work or go to school. Instead the adult child sleeps in, eats Cheetos, and plays video games all day. The adult child doesn’t want to participate in therapy. WHAT ARE THE PARENTS TO DO???? CALL ME!!!!! I’ve heard from alot of parents that they have tried to get their adult children into therapy and the therapist says “I can’t help them until they’re ready.” CALL ME!!!! Instead of the adult child being my client, the parent become my client. There are alot of things you can do as a parent to encourage your child to become more self sufficient. WHO ARE WE? Midwest Anxiety is a community based program for children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and more generalized problems involving negative thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.  Unlike traditional office-based psychotherapy, we work with people in “real life” situations in their natural environments (home, school, sporting events, etc). Instead of coming to us in a stuffy office, we come visit you in your world. We believe this “hands on” approach gives us the best opportunity to see your strengths and help you overcome your struggles in the environments you live. Our mobility allows us to work with you in "real time."  No "see you in a couple weeks" for your next appointment.  We work in the moments (daily if needed) and in the environments of your struggles. Understanding in real time, in your natural environments, helps us implement step-by-step Cognitive Behavioral strategies to modify negative patterns as they arise.  So grab a snack, put your feet up, and will be over soon to do mental health differently ;) Want to know more about who we are? https://www.midwestanxiety.com/#differently Want to know more about what we do? https://www.midwestanxiety.com/services Check out our Classes https://www.midwestanxiety.com/classes Follow us: Website: http://www.midwestanxiety.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwestanxiety Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwestanxiety Twitter: https://twitter.com/midwestanxiety Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/midwestanxiety?si=wLfMxNF5Svi228GiH6tCvg Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/midwestanxiety Limits and Restrictions: The materials distributed are provided with the understanding that the author and presenters are not engaged in rendering professional services.
